So you're saying that in general, people with advanced degrees are more stupid than people who never went to college?
Tip for you: snarky one liners don't really work. The people who make them generally think they look witty and that they'll get away with it with the old "what you said wasn't worth a real response" thing, but what actually happens is that you just look like you have no real comeback.
Not true at all. I personally know a few older folks who voted for Obama, and I know some young folks who voted for McCain and Romney. Older people definitely still vote, they may just be more discreet about it.
As I am an older, six decades plus, voter I believe the Republican party is composed of and not just owned by a clan of market distorting financial thieves and manipulators that are only concerned with profit, even profit made by mass murder, than the cost to anyone else. The Democrats are not much better but at least they are not worse. So I vote for Democrats because it is a morally correct and financially advantageous decision.
I like those crazy post from conservatives. First this:

.
- Bill Clinton left a surplus
- Trickle down economics does what it says, trickles down, as oppose to liberal policies that ensure harmonious growth of entire populations. Look at Canada or EU.
- GW Bush did fabricate evidence of WMDs in Iraq.
- Democrats or more precisely liberals and progressives fueled the civil rights movement that helped end the segregation. Why do you think minorities don't vote republican ?
Having a degree in XYZ in no way means you are smart.
I've seen college boys dumb as a box of rocks, and I've seen HS drop outs who were geniuses.
There are always a few exceptions to any rule. Some people will be successful due to their own motivation. In general high school drop-outs do not end up being very successful due to lack of education and are more likely to end up on welfare or prison.
Which is why Republicans are always trying to prevent people from getting real educations and learning to think for themselves. This is why they're always pushing home schooling which effectively means no schooling and instead indoctrination mostly of a religious basis. Ask yourself which party is ALWAYS trying to cut education funding and which party is trying to increase access to education.
1. Every time I see your screen name I chuckle, because the posts I have read from you indicate that your screen name is a complete misnomer. Your posts tell me that you are the epitome of someone who is brainwashed, brain dead and cannot think for him/herself.
2. I homeschooled one of my sons for a year. Grade 8. Relgion had nothing to do with the decision to homeschool, didn't enter into the curriculum and had nothing to do with me sending him back into the public school system in Grade 9. What I found during that year was this: he had fallen through the cracks while in school. Had no idea how to study, no idea how to write papers, no idea how to write tests, and had an attention span of 10 minutes. He learned to study, learned to write tests and learned to write papers (because I taught him what was expected and made him rewrite and rewrite until he GAVE me what was expected). I learned how intelligent he actually was. He learned that he could succeed in a classroom setting. By Grade 9 he was ready and wanted to go back into the institutional setting that was public school. If he was school age now I would have homeschooled him for the duration. And not because of religion.
3. Ask yourself which party is ALWAYS trying to cut education funding and which party is trying to increase access to education - You know better than that (or maybe you don't) - quality of education is only partially tied to funding. Per pupil spending on education keeps increasing and test scores keep decreasing. Ask yourself (Think4Yourself) why that is. Also ask yourself how (exactly) your party is trying to increase access to education, how (exactly) the GOP is trying to decrease access to education, and which party (exactly) has been throwing a screaming hissy fit over parents desire for school vouchers (ie. viable alternatives to the overfunded, underachieving, union protecting, mind controlling public school system).
The excuse is that they're stupid. Sorry to be blunt, but that's it. Democrat propaganda is full of appeals to emotion, false promises, fearmongering, misrepresentation of facts, etc and those people fell for it.
Hate to break this to you, but it sounds as if you are describing the GOP. Fear mongering? Let's see: Obama is a muslim and socialist, the government will take a away your guns, the ACA will take away your Medicare, death panels, liberals hate Christians and will bring Sharia law to the US. The list goes on and on. The fear mongering is accomplish by misrepresenting facts. The GOP is very good at it.

Nobody is accusing Bush himself--he naively went along with Cheney and the neocons to avenge his father.
Anytime you shovel out enough lies, someone somewhere is going to actually believe those lies. The people that did are mature Democrats. The rest get out into the real world and realize that crap they were fed by their liberal professors was just that: crap.
Trying to claim that Republicans do not lie is ridiculous. Your post has proven that.
